Looking forward to the future

"Keep your head up," I said,
As she kept it down.
I know this time it's hard,
But swallow that frown,
'Cause if you keep your eyes closed,
You never will know
Your 18 years have passed you by.
Look forward to the future,
But remember the past
Was it the time of your life?

You have always been there for me
It's time that hit will come true
These hard times will pass by
And if it means anything
I will always be there for you

I'll sell you the sunset all you wanted was the stars
To make you smile, nothing is too hard
Harmless story
Was the need for something new
And that's why, that's why
This song goes out to you, to you, you, you
